[edit] GLOBAL GEOMORPHOLOGY

Global geomorphology is the subject of this book, working from the perspective that an adequate appreciation of landform genesis must encompass a knowledge of the large-scale framework of landscapes as well as an understanding of the smaller-scale processes which create individual landforms.

This innovative text provides a comprehensive introduction to the subject, with the emphasis placed on large-scale processes and phenomena. Integrating global tectonics into the study of landforms and incorporating planetary geomorphology as a major component the author discusses the impact of climatic change and the role of catastrophic events on landform genesis and includes a comprehensive study of surface geomorphic processes. * Provides both basic background information and guidance towards the more advanced study of particular topics. *Contains a comprehensive treatment of surface geomorphic processes. *Incorporates the results of newly applied dating techniques and research on the offshore sedimentary record. *Uses satellite imagery throughout to illustrate large-scale landforms. *Contains over 500 figures. *Draws on examples and case studies from around the world.
